So you guys like police brutality? I don't and enjoyI don't like cops that still put up the blue wall when one of their own is guilty of it.

Do you enjoy posing stupid questions?

I do

When will Steele announce Xavier is ditching the Nike brand?

let me reply with another stupid question. Do you think Michael Brown is still a saint?

You do understand that you can support an individuals position but not his/her entire platform right? Politics isn't a spectator sport. I support Kaep in all things against police brutality and one step further the covering up of noted brutality. How is that bad? Really since it was a serviceman who told him to kneel, why is that awful?

Since when was not being a saint grounds for execution. That is one case, google the myriad of others where the shooting or beat down was not warranted.

Do you know any police? I know a lot. They are trained to de-escalate situations. If I walk up and punch a cop in the face and immediately throw my hands in the air and surrender, the letter of their training they can only arrest me. That is a simple explanation, but one that illustrates the point. A great deal of the brutality occurs when police forget their training and escalate situations.

There is no room for police brutality in this nation. Period. End of story.

If that happens through racial profiling or otherwise (i.e. not race related, but an overzealous police officer jumping the gun on anyone), it is unacceptable.

What is absolutely total bullshit is some punk doing something stupid and illegal, getting caught, resisting, receiving a behavior modification session from the police, and then playing the police brutality card.

How any of this translates to taking a knee and disrespecting the flag and our national anthem is beyond me. Free country? Protesting is allowed, and possibly necessary?

Not in this way. Not for that reason. Not with American men and women in uniform dying in combat.

Whatever man...obey the effing law, don't put yourself in that situation and i guarantee you won't be killed by a police officer.

Yes my Uncle is a cop, his wife was killed in front of his four kids in their home when an escaped convict from prison came looking for him because he had arrested him the first time. It's one of the reasons I fully support the death penalty, and is another reason I don't have any empathy for stupid fucks or families of stupid fucks who try to portray themselves as just innocent victims.

Yes there are complete ahole cops out there, and ones who think their gun is an extension of their third leg but after the dust has settled, most of these "unwarranted" situations, turn out to be pretty warranted.

Kaep was sitting down for the anthem before this, the serviceman wanted him to stand and they decided kneeling was a compromise position. People continue to misrepresent this and it's annoying.

THIS SHIT IS GETTING VERY UGLY!!! Let's get back to the point where we are all fans of everything "XAVIER" and put all this divisive crap behind us! The way this thread is going, we are beginning to create lifelong enemies among our fan base. I am sure that was not the intention of the developers of this fine XU website!

Since when are police granted the power to dole out punishment. This a huge problem with police today. They think that it’s their place to go beyond detain and arrest. It’s not and the needs to be corrected.
